3 SSSTO 2 T . —Complete Suffrage HuaiutG . — On Wednesday uighs last , a met . tasg was holden at lleeston , a village near Leeds , called undxir tho auspices of t ! i t ; Goosa section of the Leeds Whigs , for the purpose ot coming tho complete ' suffrage dods ; e ' over tho natives .. It was attended by Dr . Smiles and Mr . Councillor Whitehead , for the purpose of persuading the Beestonions to pitch into the Tories through Sir Robert Peel , and to raise the Whigs again , at the expence of both people and Tories , through the " complete suffrage" movements It was no £ io , however . Tho villa ^ era were not to be done . Preparations had been made for giving theci a complete route . As soon as the two yesse above named found out that this was the case , thev dodged
again : they gave up their " eompletc-suffrago" resolution , and agreed to support the " whole Charter- ' resolution , plainly seeing that , unless they aid so , they would stand no chanco of carrying the resolution they mainly wished ^ to have carried , the one condemnatory of Sir Robert Peel and the Corn Lawd . Thsir second dodge succeeded . The Corn-Lavr-condemnation was put jirsl ; and then the reso ; utiou for tho wholo Charter was moved and seconded , and carried . The ' following aro the resoluticns adopted by tho meeting . The first resolution was carried , if carried at all , by a' bara . majority ; but for the seccud one evtry hand in tho room . was holdcu up . " That this meeting considers . that all restrictive duties are hi themselves bad , but more especially those affecting the first necessary of life , and
therefore views with disgust and indignation tho eliding scilo of duties on Corn proposed by Sir Robert Peel , which has been proved to be unjust iu operation , and mischievous in its tendencies ; this meeiiuj ; , therefore , pledges itself to use every constitutional means to remove a law , which for tho sake of ' protecting ' a grasping and rapacious aristocY&ey , resiricta tho freedom of trade , and tends to prevent ths '¦ ¦ . ¦' bounty of Providence Ircm reaching tho habitations of the industrious classes . " Moved by J . Homer , and seconded by H . Tiilcy . " That this mce-ing having seen wirh mortificitk'n . ths complete failure of- 'bygone schemes of Reform , is convinced by ; "fatal experience , that nothing but-the principles embodied in ; he People's Chart ; - ? , can i ? a 78 the nation frora utter destrucnou . " Moved by Mr . Elley , seconded by Sheridan Nusssy , supported by Ur . Smiles , Wn , Brook , and Wm . Whitehearf .

Since writing the articles of caution in our first edition , we have learned that in Manphe ' isieF the '' Extension" men have made themselves quite ready for an onslaught upon the people , so soon as their violence and rabid treachery shall have furnished the 1 " authorities" yvith a pretext on which to make ; v : ¦;; . : ¦¦ .:.-,.: ¦ - ., . . ¦¦ . ; -v : ' V ' ; . ¦/ : ¦ . ; ¦; ' [ : ' : On Thursday evening , a large body of soldiers , three pieces of cannon , and a large quantity Of awtnpnitiori ; were brought very quietly into the . town , and disposed of with as little shew as possible .
And this at the very moment when the " Leagae " are pouring out from the throats of their incendiary orators , the most inflammatory stuff that has ever been uttered since the last Whig fever in 1830-1-2 , and when they have a Committee sit ing "" to . arrange for a great demonstration on Kersal Moor ! What does it import!—what does it look like 1 Are tho two factions merely watchibg each other , or are they secretly playing into each other's hands , to obtain a large " thinning of the surplus population" 1 We again toll the people that
tho times never were more . critical ; tlias a single false step now might ruin all ; that there never was ( in our time at least ) so mach need for activity , firmness , and prudence as just now . The game is almost played out . The stakes are even now within reach , if we do not lose them by our own folly . Seo then , that every point be guarded . Leav 3 not a single outpost without its garrison ; but let all be well disciplined .-. ' '"' Peace , Law , Order , " must bs our tactics ; " '' Onward . ' - !!' our .

If the " League * ' call a meeting upon Kersal Moor , or any where else , let the people go ; -let them go in their might—iu their thousaiids-rtheir hundreda of thousands ; let them asscinble peaceably ; hear everybody patiently ; aad negattvj all tiiti "Plague" men ' s resolutions , j ust as they negatived Mr . Baines at Leeds . We like to keep that instance before the people as an . exactp . lo ' , it was done so well , bo copllyj so deliberately , and yet so unmistakeably . Siich be the fate of every " Plague" resolution from this time forth : silently ,
peacefully , but effectually negatived by counter votes or by an amendment of the right sort , moved and seconded by men of tho right sort—hard handed fustians whom . the people know . Teach tho mushroom , u upon occasion , " Char / ists , that they must learn to follow , before they can expect to lead—that their place is in tho back ground while their schoolmasters read lessons to them . Receive them , of course , if they choose to come over to you ; but receivo as you do , in common life , a known , though repentant , pickpocket j cautiously , and without trusting them .
Above all tako care to have no concern at all with their excesses—either of Bpeech or conduct . Leave all the honour of all the violence entirely to them . Every working ' man ' who . ' aid ? in one of their effigy burning exploit ? is a traitor to himself and to his country . Let the conteniptibks thus amuse thoir amiable dispositions in propria persona ; let ; thorn make tho - ' effigies andcarry them and burn them with thoir own proper hands , and shout for them with their own proper tongues ; while you go about yoar own businessgetting the Charter and proving that you are fit for it as well as have a right to it .
Do this , and the villains will be disappointed ; all their adroit management , for turning loose '" the dogs of war" upon ¦ thoir dupes may be laughed at , and your succei = 3 is certain . ' Qn ' ce more we exhort you to be vigilant . Suffer not a meeting to be held without you ; and suffer not a single resolution , petition , or memorial to pass at any meeting where you are , for any object but the Charter .- Tho " League" affect now to regard the Charter as the only means of securing Repeal . Nail them to that . If it be so their agitation for Repeal is"uscK'ss . Get the means first , that the end may follow .
HURRAH FOR LONDON ! While writing , we havo just received a report from cur correspondent * of a , glorious thrashing of tho " League" at thoEgvpfian Hall , Piccadilly , on Wednesday . Nearly all the London M . P . ' s were announced to attend , supported by Sidney Smith ,-and the whole force of tha ^ . League . " Tho Chai ' - tists , notwidislanding this avray of " inftuentials , " determined that they would follow the example set by the msn of Sou . mwark , aiid soundly thrash them , which they- did , and no mistake . The chair was taken by W . Maule , E ? q ., Church-¦ warden , ai ) d the first" Plague" resolution
tr"That iu the opinion of this meeting , the sliding scale o ^ Peel is unjust in principle , and an insult to the .. sniferiug people of this country , and we pledge ourselves not to relax in our exactions until we obtain a- .. toial repeal of tho Corn Laws ; " : was moved , in a most ^ ilky , insinuating , speech by Mr . Leader , M . P ., and seconded by some Mr . Clabk . But though Leader is a great favourite as an&I . P ., with the Londoricfs , they were ' . not to be sodueed from their allegiance by him , Mr . Ruffv RiDiiEY ' -in a speech that does honour to him , run up the Chartist flag in the shapo of the following amer . dtneut on the " Plague" men's resolution : —
" That this meeting is of opinion that the majority of l . ' ? 3 .. in the House of Commons in favour oi" tho sliding scale is a clear proof that th « monopoly of class-legislation is the great cause of all other monopolies that exist in this country ; and that \ va are J ' arthor of opinion that no permanent rciicf will bo given to the . alarming c'istress which exists until the pooplu . aro iairly aiid fully represented in Paruament in accordance with the principles laid down in tho dooument called the People ' s Charter . "
Tco amendment was seconded by another good Chartist named Armstrong , who " -pitched' into-- '' the I . ca-i . 5 io in proper style . The creatures . " tri »; d all their possibles" to prevent either him or Ridley from bjing heard , but the people ' s patience and doterminatipu overcame them . The Chairman , after several attempts to csjole tho Chartists to pass the "Plague" resolution first and thiir owa amendment afterwards as an oriainai
resolution , put it to tho meeting ; when , out or tse immen-ie assembly , —tho place being ; . ' crowded-to excess , only six hands were held up against the amendment . Tho Leigiio seemed aghast , hue wanted again to cajole the " lads" by pressiag them to vote also for their resolution ; but this was " nogo "; about cno hundred hands were held up for their icBolution , and a whole forest against it . The Chairman then declared the amendment
carried . Colonel Evaks thea rose , andin along palavering speech , in which he declared himself al most a Chartist , proposed the following resolution t—* ' That this meeting ia fully aware oEtUe evils inflicted by the present laws affdocing the importation of corn and provisions ; but iB entirely .-opposed- to tbe present ministerial projecu of a ? teria « f wit&oafc ameadin ^ fc&em . '' In boththe Colonel ' s and Mr * Leader's Epeeches the ' . " soap" was very plenteoiisly applied ; all the
evils of the Corn Laws were unsparingly attributed , to class legislation ; the Chartists were highly complimented , and great promises made to them as a return for their labours iu tho carrying out of the " RepeaL" But "it wouldn ' t do . " tho "lads" were wide awake ; and Ridley , in another eleoiuent address in which he administercd a severe castigatioa to the manufactuiera for their treatment of the factory children , and likewise to Colonel Evans , propoEed tho following amendment : ¦—
"That in the present state of the reprosaniative sjstem , it is uselessto expecc any measure of eEcitnt relief from the Legislature , aud that this meetiug do now adopt tho Rational Petiiiori of the working classes , and will exert their energies in its behalf . f .- , :,: ;/ ' ¦ ' .. ; ' - \ .: ;; : ^ . : ' -- V , ; V" - ; The amendment was seconded by Mr .
